In-situ fabrication of GaN/short-range ordered BN heterostructure light-emitting diodes by Heesoo Kim, Anh Thi Dieu Nguyen, Beomjun Kim, Hyerin Jo, Imasda Rahmatulloh, Hyobin Yoo, Hongseok Oh, Aziz Ahmed, Hyeonjun Beak, Kunook Chung

“…Abstract We fabricated GaN/BN double heterostructure light-emitting diodes (LEDs) where the BN layer exhibited an amorphous-like short-range order and facilitated the in-situ epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELOG) of GaN films. Using an identical metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, the BN layer was reliably formed on the GaN film and then served as a growth mask during the high-temperature growth of the GaN overlayer. …”

QCI-WSC: Estimation and prediction of QoS confidence interval for web service composition based on Bootstrap by Li Qinying, Lu Wei, Li Fangli, Wang Taotao, Wang Hao

“…Meanwhile, the user similarity is calculated, and the QoS of web service invoked by the similar users is used to predict QCI-WSC. Finally, the results of user-invoked web service composition QoS are verified by the average interval coverage rate, compared to the actual QoS values and prediction values of the other methods, such as adaptive QoS prediction method based on collaborative filtering (QACF) and QoS-Aware web service recommendation (WSRec). …”
